Easter Evils

"Kurokuro!"

The ninja cringed and slid back into the shadows.

"Kuropiko! Kurotan!"

The voice was drawing nearer...

"Kuropuuuuun!" Came the happy ring of Fai's voice. Now it seemed to be no more than a few steps away. If Kurogane didn't move fast, he'd be discovered for sure...

Slowly, the ninja swung his body to the left, then to the right, trying his best not to make too much noise. He hobbled down the dark corridor much like the way a penguin would, only difference being, there was plastic cutting painfully into his neck, wrists, and ankles. It was bad enough putting up with Fai's daily whims without being subjected to the horrors of his holiday fancies. And to think people couldn't understand why the ninja hated holidays so much… In fact, sometimes it even seemed like a conspiracy to Kurogane. Every holiday they ever came across on their journey seemed to lend themselves, perfectly, to Fai's nature. …much too perfectly to be just a few coincidences.

This time, the mage had decided to take on the role of predator, leaving Kurogane to be his prey. He'd gone as far as to lay out traps… and not just any traps… Fai-traps. They were traps that no normal human being could see. So cleverly hidden, yet so utterly unavoidable, they had truly made a living nightmare out of Kurogane's day.

It all started around noon. Fai had mentioned something about bunnies and eggs the night before but nothing could have prepared Kurogane for this. After lunch, the ninja had decided to take a bath, which Sakura kindly offered to prepare. It seemed innocent enough… The three of them, Kurogane, Fai and Syaoran, were always risking their lives for the princess, it was only natural for her to show some gratitude. Not in a million years could Kurogane have suspected her to be in league with the mage.

Only when he lowered himself into the warm foam-covered bathwater did he realize what a big mistake he'd made. Under it's bubbly surface was something hard and plastic. And before the ninja's mind could register anything more, it attached itself to his body and encased him in what seemed to be… an egg. A huge polka-dotted, pink and yellow egg.

Unable to move, Kurogane's gaze traveled up to the ceiling where he noticed a message left by the mage:

"Congratulations, Kuropiko!

You have completed your transformation!

Now, all you have to do is get yourself out of that tub and avoid being caught…

If you don't, a horrible surprise awaits.

Much love,

E.B.F.

(easter bunny Fai)"

After a few moments of hopeless thrashing, the ninja managed to free himself from the tub. He didn't know what Fai had up his sleeve, nor did he care… All Kurogane had to hear – or rather, see – were the words "horrible surprise" and he knew he was goner. Him turning into an egg was the least of his worries now. He could live with being an egg but with this surprise, he could not. It was sure to be the death of him… if not physically, then mentally.

Half stumbling, half rolling, Kurogane had then spent the rest of the afternoon making his way down one hallway to the next, rounding each corner with the utmost care. …but caution didn't help much in Fai's little game of capture-the-Kuro-egg. With all the care he had exercised, the ninja still managed to fall victim to every trap he came across.

As a result, "the bunny" was now hot on his trail. Hobbling down the hallway as fast as he could, Kurogane tried his best to escape. But he didn't even cover half the distance when Fai decided to round the corner.

"Kuropiko! There you are!" the mage cried. He was garbed in a disturbingly pink bunny-suit, his ears slightly lopsided and long plastic whiskers sticking out of his bright pink nose. Giving his Kuro-egg a cute little grin, Fai hopped down the hall at an alarmingly fast pace (at least in comparison to Kurogane's, it was).

There was only one thing Kurogane could think of doing now. It wasn't guaranteed to save him but it was worth a try. Swinging his entire body weight to the left, he fell onto his side. It took a few seconds of flailing before he managed to propel the egg forward with his hands but once he got going it became effortless. He was rolling fast, a lot faster than before… but still, not fast enough. Despite all his hard effort, Fai was still getting nearer and nearer. It was over…

Closing his eyes, Kurogane prayed that he'd live through whatever this "surprise" happened to be.

"Hyuu!" The Fai-bunny cried triumphantly as he flung his arms over Kurogane's pink and yellow egg-belly, stopping him in mid-roll, "I caught you, Kuropon! …which means…" a smirk spread across the mage's face "…not a minute to lose!"

In one swift movement, Fai cracked open the Kuro-egg and lifted the top half off. With Kurogane, stark naked and still lying on the floor, the mage crawled into the other half of the egg and splayed himself across the ninja's body, grabbing hold of Kurogane's arms so that he was sufficiently pinned down.

"And now…" Fai whispered into the ninja's ear "…we have to do something about that expression of yours…"

Without any warning, the mage found a nice spot on the ninja's neck and bit down, getting a wonderful, "Aah!" out of Kurogane as somewhere in the background a camera flashed.

"Yuuko, there's a letter for you," Watanuki said, handing his employer a white envelope, "It seems to be from that ninja, Kurogane or something."

"Ah! What a surprise!" The witch said, though from her tone, Watanuki could tell she'd been expecting this letter all along. She took the envelope and opened it, taking out a single photograph. In a matter of seconds, a smirk spread across her face, "A little late in the coming but welcome nonetheless…"

Her gaze then traveled to her servant and her smirk widened, "Would you like to see?"

Watanuki sighed, "What do you want?"

"A bottle of sake would be nice," Yuuko said, sweetly.

"Again? I just got you one an hour ago!" A vein throbbed in Watanuki's temple, "You're infuriating…"

The witch smiled and handed him the photograph. It was the oddest picture, Watanuki had ever laid eyes on. That mage from before, dressed in a pink bunny-suit, seemed to be sprawled across Kurogane's unclothed body, which was stuck in half of a polka-dotted pink-and-yellow eggshell. Scrawled in the upper left hand corner were the words, "Happy White Day!" and underneath it, in smaller characters, "photograph and costuming, courtesy of the E.B.F."

"I find Kurogane's expression highly entertaining…don't you think?" Yuuko said, her smirk still present. In fact, if Watanuki wasn't mistaken, Yuuko would have that smirk plastered on her face for days to come.

A/N: There are a lot of gramatical errors and whatnot in this one but you know what? it's late, and I finally got this one done... so I really don't feel like doing any more... yeahyeah, i'm lazier than a bear goinginto hibernation. Well, as I told a lot of people in theA/N formy most recent chappie of "Cry", I am stuck in a boatload of work right now (so pardon the late easterfic as well as future latnesses)Finals are coming up, my graduation project presentation is in two weeks, and I have another poster-sized sketch due this Friday... I'm jam-packed! So until summer comes, don't expect too much from me... I'm really sorry about this but I think I'll only be able to update once a month now... really REALLY sorry, guys! But don't loose hope! I will be back, I promise! Once summer starts, I'll write until my fingers fall off! xDD
